Bell vibrant is different then US t-mobile vibrant. Resembles international i9000 more.

Found this post, has guide to root i9000m

http://androidforums.com/galaxy-s-a...flashing-darky-v9-gt-i9000m-minimal-risk.html

Do some research before flashing ROM, make sure i9000M supported. I'm not sure, but doubtful US vibrant Roms will work.

Hey, I want to have the Galaxy Nexus SMS layout on my Galaxy SII running 4.0.3 cf-rootKP8.

Is it possible?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DroidHam:
I'm considering selling my Galaxy Tab and buying the prime. Right now I can get about $500 for my Galaxy on ebay (mint condition, 32 gb) and am considering it just because its something new, but also because i don't want to get left behind with older technology. Now is probably the last time I can get this much for my tablet so I figure I should upgrade while I can.

Has anyone made the same switch? What are some reasons to do it or not to?

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] RussianMenace:
Do you use the GPS on your gtab? If yes, then no...as the Prime GPS is borked.

Do you want to play 1080p videos? Do you want a keyboard dock? What about ICS and overall speed? If yes, and you don't want a GPS, then it would definitely be worth it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GuestK00431:
Go for it I say if you really want the best Tablet out with a quad-core and ICS starting next week. Yeah sure, if you wait they'll be better ones out later in the year but that's the same with anything from Cars to whatever.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] beavertank:
I've made (or am attempting to make) the transition. I sold off my Tab at the beginning of December in expectation of getting the Prime not long after... but then thanks to one pack of lies after another Best Buy decided to cancel my preorder and now I'm waiting. And waiting. And waiting.

I personally think it'll be very worth it, but then I was never too happy with the bluetooth keyboard solution and I'm looking forward to the keyboard dock. That and what I really wanted a tablet for was media consumption and the 10.1 wouldn't play my 1080p MKVs without stuttering.

So... it depends on what you use your tab for now. But for basically everything but GPS I think you'll be happy upgrading to it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] huynhc:
If your grab 10.1 does everything you want it to do then I'd say hold off and wait for other tabs to come. ICS will come to grab 10.1 ICS just a matter of time
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jstrick5:
I sold my GT right before Christmas and my Prime is due to be delivered today. (Yes I've been going through tablet withdrawal for the past few weeks).

I LOVED my GT. Other than the Newton Rings issue, the device was flawless from a hardware standpoint and performed very well overall. I had zero complaints.

At the time, I made the decision to do it b/c the Prime has some pretty impressive specs and being a technology fiend, I can't sleep at night if I don't have the latest and greatest cutting edge devices... if they're special. Also, I was able to sell it at a price where I was able to upgrade to the prime for the cost of a few best buy reward zone points. After reading about all of the hardware issues (wifi/bluetooth, wifi in general, GPS) I'm a little less thrilled that I sold my GT.

With that said, regardless of whether or not I end up completely satisfied with my Prime I think I will be set up to upgrade to another device in the not so distant future if I'm not completely satisfied with the Prime. Similarly to how I moved from the GT to Prime for very little cost.

So in the end, I don't think you can go wrong by selling the GT. You may/may not be completely happy with your Prime, but you may set yourself up for getting the next big thing. (Google's Galaxy Tablet?)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] josuetenista:
I sold my Galaxy Tab 10.1 32gb on gray color. I will write the Pros and Cons of buying the prime:

Pros

-I like the screen much better, specially if you use it outdoors.

-You have microsd, and microhdmi ports so you can easily expand your storage and connect to a TV.

-It charges super fast, from 0% to 100% in only 2 1/2 hours, with my GTab I needed around 5 hours.

-It's smoother

-Better graphics with the new Tegra games

-$100 cheaper

-The camera is very good compared to the Galaxy Tab 10.1

-Possibility to expand with the dock

CONS:

-It's harder to hold when you play games, The Galaxy Tab 10.1 has rounded edges and it's a bit lighter that's why it feels better if U use it for games

-FOR NOW it's easier to flash Roms and Kernels on the galaxy tab 10.1

I don't have any WiFi issues but the GPS takes longer to lock
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
i did just that and i regret nothing.

the prime just feels much better in hand and does everything better aside from a true gps lock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kitts:
I sold my GTab 10.1 16GB for $440 locally last month, and got Prime for $492.

Worth doing it, 2 reason.

1. GTab will not have this kind of resale value once every other tablet in the market is quad core.

2. You want the latest and greatest all the time.. right? right? right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theoilman:
GTab already has a mostly functional CM9, so ICS should not be in your consideration.

consider working GPS and probably better wifi on the Gtab vs better processor and dock with extra battery on the prime

the dock is really the #1 thing about the prime I think. with all the problems people are listing about the prime I would have already cancelled my order if not for the dock. If I don't have a dock, I don't think I want a tablet at all.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Joe T:
Just wanted to give a heads-up to those like myself that are stuck in fastboot with a dead battery. I found this standard non-oem battery with a charger on ebay for $9, free shipping. Hope it helps someone. They're $15-30 elsewhere.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaher:
Just wondering if the wicked rom can be changed to 4by4 icon grid rather than the 5by4 icon grid it came with.

Also it has barely any samsung apps/widgets wondering if particular apps such as readers hub and widgets such as the stock weatger widget can be reinstallled some how. These were things that i used before rooting and installing this rom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
yes, go to menu - launcher and set the desired grid size.

yes, samsung apps caan be downloaded and readded again, check the forum it usual has samsung apps on first vpage as a zip file.

You should have read the rom description before using as custom roms try to eliminate all samsung apps. you should then stay with a stock type rom which has your required apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chetan_mohanty:
Lolzz... Flash the ThemeEnabler.zip in the WickedROM 2nd Post.It will give you your old launcher.

And in the 3rd post all those apps you want are already provided in different packages(right from only samsubg apps or only hubs or all the apps)

BTW i am the dev of WickedROM ;) Please read the thread henceforth :D

Dude there is no settings for launcher in TW based ROMS :P either you like the layout or not
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaher:
Thanks guys im new so im fresh. I saw wicked rom yesturday and thought wow im gona go for it.im new in the custom world only rooted a day a go this being my first CR. So thumbs up its good. Thks for your help ;).

Also just wondering is the kernel it comes with better then a kernel i keep hearing called siyah i thibk thats what its called anyway.

Also whats up with 98% battery when charger comes out. It may be a noob Q but its kinda weird lol

THANKS (ITS FIRST CR ONLY ROOTED YESTURDAY AND FIRST POST ON THIS XDA SITE SO ITS GOING KL)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaher:
Quick querie

Does the samsung widgets come under All removed apps or jus removed apps. Thanks mate youve dn a terrific job of accomodating for ppl. Keep it up dev dudeeeeee
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
Thats not completely true about no settings in TWLauchers.My ROM comes with TWLauncher which lets me put 5 icons on the bottom tray and TW4Launcher which lets you change the amount of rows in the app draw.

First and second screenshot TW4 app draw settings,third screenshot TWLauncher 5 icon bar.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaher:
Has Any1 done this i dowoaded and flashed the hubs now when i try to use readers hub i have to install the book reader. However it says server will be available soon i mean what gives before custom roming it it always updated and installed instantly is this an app error or a rom error.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chetan_mohanty:
But most probably, thats the TWLauncher 4.5 launcher (by Fr4gg0r) you are using i am sure.It has those settings.It is a modded launcher.The user was asking for the stock Sammy TWLauncher i guess ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
aaaaaaamigo....well picked up.I didnt think about that one.Being a custom ROM and all Im sure thats why they can be modded.My apolagies:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaher:
Can any 1 answer my previous comments thks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaher:
1)My comment was that does the stock weather widget come under as removed apps.

2)And a burning question in readers hub i cant download the book reader !!!!!!!!!"!. Even after trying after 6 hours as i tried in the morning and now in the evening. Whats givs. Can any1 tell me what to do
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaher:
Nope fixed now. It should be noted tht in order for the hubs to work you have to have apps INSTALLED aswell did not know. It should be wriiten down tht some hubs dont work without there apps. Peace out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaher:
Last Q

IS there anyway to turn of the shutter sound of the camera. Ive tried going in to settings and turning off various sounds and i cant find a way whether it be silent mode or or turning off audible selection still camera will make noise.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
Not if the camera isnt modded or the ROM doesnt have a mod file you can flash via CWM to do so.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaher:
Could you elaborate cooza i just want to have the option to turn of shutter sound stock rom could. What do i need to flash.

Ps. Is the siyah kernel really good for battery life. If so what is the best way to go about flashing the kernel. Im a new user lol

Thks mare
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
yes, siyah is good for battery life.

If you are rooted use CWM to flash the zip file after copying it to your sd card. cwm- recovery-install zip- choose zip from sdcard-yes install, wit for it to finish, reboot phone.

other wise use ODIN, flash the tar file.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chetan_mohanty:
Hmmm i will mention that explicitly..Thanks

Edit

-----

I will update that zip file so people need not download the larger removedapps zip.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
If you are on stock ROM you cant turn it off.If you are on a custon ROM the dev normally modifys various apps so that you have more options or you can download a file to flash and modify each app personally as you choose.If you are on stock then nothin,if your on a custon ROM ask the Dev or on the ROMs thread if there is a Zip file or CWM file that can mod the cam to turn off the sound.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaher:
Chetan can u release a mod or something to turn off camera sound

Thks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaher:
Cheetan

Serious issue

I need a mod or sonething to stop sms converting to multimedia messages. I have unlimited messages. So tell me of the way to stop this STUPID feature that samsung have put in cos its costing me bills !!! Thanks mate.

Also if possible (but not as important) the messaging limit aswell as it stuck at just 10 contacts and ive got more than ten so i have to message multiple times i know your busy but if you can i would seriously appreciate this man. :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
Mate I think you should PM your Dev if things arnt working right cos looking at the link to your ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1384192/

I can see this in its specs-"No mms auto conversion for long messages" so I dont quite understand the problem.Something isnt right.If things dont work and you dont get replys then change ROMs but these things are better found on the ROMs own thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaher:
After this messgae then that cam up bro lol. He was in this thread i addresed him man.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Pfredd:
What buttons do I hold down in order to boot my Samsung Droid Charge into recovery? I used ODIN to install CWM but I can't for the life of me figure out how to boot into CWM.

I searched the forums and only found a cryptic "Press R + M + Power".
[Verizon Droid Charge] Pfredd:
Never mind, I found it:

Booting to CWM.

1. With the phone powered off, hold down the vol up, home and the power button all at the same time.

2. When you see the “Samsung” logo, let go of the power button.

3. After a few seconds you will see a screen that has red writing and a few lines of text, that is CWM.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Or while on a custom ROM just hold the power button until the menu pops up and hit Recovery.

Would you trade your G2x for a Nexus s?

G2x has better hardware and Nexus s has better software.

opinions?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] J-Boxer:
Naww. I love my g2x. It's more fun to screw around with. With the nexus everything's already done for you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fcisco13:
I would! Tmo nexus s!

NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jetbruceli:
Why would u want to give up 2core, better graphics and atleast the idea that LG might give us ics where gs isn't getting it officially?

Nvidia always!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] booch137:
Galaxy Nexus, not Galaxy S
[T-Mobile LG G2x] -deuces-:
im loving the g2x so far.....im just trying to see if the trade would be worth it. confused as hell....but the g2x is by far the best android ive owned.

but then nexus s has more support and gt-i9020t is valued higher than the p999
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Memnoch30:
No, the Nexus S.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Memnoch30:
I've been debating the same thing. If gaming isn't your thing, I'd go for the NS. It already has ICS, we'll get ICS "by summer". A couple of things still don't work on CM7 through no fault of their own, it's NVIDIA's closed drivers, so the same will probably happen on CM9. I know they said they'd help the development community but it's already January and we haven't seen anything so I'm not holding my breath.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iCraft:
I probably would since it already has ics
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
Nexus S IMO, I"m actually trying to trade mine as well for a Nexus S. I like SAMOLED better and some thing's on the G2x just bug me. Samsung just makes the best phones IMO, plus it's a Google phone. Can't go wrong with that one. And with Tegra being closed source it'd troublesome to dev on.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] -deuces-:
got the nexus s guy :D

had phone while i had my g2x....too bad i cant keep up with my theme i released :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericalanMICHAEL:
I disagree. There's no better chipset for gaming than Tegra2. You'll be hard pressed to find another phone that, when overclocked, hits 100 FPS. Just my opinion.

The NS is hype, a brand, and a loyal group of followers...none of which merit the glorification it receives. G2x is in every way a better phone; the resale value bit mentioned before is complete bull****. The NS sells for the same, if not more than the G2x. I think it's complete bull****. G2x blows the NS out of the water. You can keep an active community, but to me, it comes down to specs. NS is old and can't compare to newer, better technology.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Memnoch30:
You need to read my post again. I did say that if he's not interested in gaming, to consider then the NS.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Ninosmaxima:
I'd take an hd2 over nexus any day.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] -deuces-:
like I said in the OP. g2x has better hardware and Nexus has better software.

I don't care how many cores is in a phone. as long as it works how it should, and the g2x was not doing that FOR ME. Take an iPhone 3gs for instance, I don't think it even had a 1ghz processor yet its as smooth as a 1ghz android.

different strokes for different folks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
I guess your loving the NS. I'm the dude that traded you btw.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] -deuces-:
aye! wassup bro.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
How's the NS? What's your thoughts after trading? Pros and cons?

My Pros of NS:

Super Amoled

Endless dev support & official Google support

Camera quality looks better

No memory leaks=multitasking King even with 512mb of ram!

My Pros of G2x:

Dual Core Processor!

Micro SD slot

Gorgeous looking device!

Although both the NS and G2x have a 4 inch screen, the G2x screen just looks much bigger and I love the almost natural looking whites.

My Cons of NS:

Single Core Processor

Screen attracts finger prints like crazy and so does the entire phone!

My Cons of G2x:

Lack of drivers=lack of excellent quality roms (no offense to the devs)!

Camera sucks so bad!!! I know its a software issue since the camera was way better with LG's camera app on official Froyo (I've owned a G2x before)

Battery life SMH! Need I explain?

Conclusion: I love both phones. Either phone fits me well since all I really look for is a phone that makes/receives calls, browse the internet well and text. I'm pretty simple. I love the G2x hardware, just hate LG for letting it go to waste. This phone really had and still has potential to be something great. It definitely is better than the NS when it comes to hardware, but software wise the NS has this phone by a long shot.

Luckily I haven't had any random reboots or overheating as my other G2x did in the past. And I notice very little screen bleeding so I'm happy!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] -deuces-:
exactly, my pros and cons would be exactly the same. i wish the Nexus had a removable sd, but then i can always mount it.

but im sure u wont get any overheat/ reboot, it never occurred when i owned the phone for about 4 weeks.

im satisfied tho, i have a device i can settle down with for about 6 months...maybe more .

i just need to get used to the button arrangement on the nexus s....its f*ucking confusing me :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
Vice versa with the buttons arrangement on the G2x. Lmao
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jetbruceli:
Yeah well i am sure the g2x would be hella smooth on an ios. It's apple os that makes it smooth. The 3gs has a 600 MHz processor with sgrx 935 gpu less than what ns has which has a sgrx 940 same as the gn

Nvidia always!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
glad to be back to the g2x, had it for 2 weeks....then i got a nexus s just for ics, but one core cant handle ics that well. :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
So you traded again for a g2x? Or just stopping bye?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
sold the nexus.....bought another g2x

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RollingStar:
Rather than being smartasses, why not give the guy an actual answer? If you think that said 'noobs' will be re educated by repeatedly posting that video, you're delusional. Either that or you genuinely think the same joke is funny after the 3rd time in a row, in which case, you're still delusional.

With this kind of attitude rife, nobody will learn to use the forum correctly or get the answers they want, creating yet more noobs.

To answer OPs question - no, there is no official ICS builds

from samsung yet. You're welcome to try a leaked build or Cyanogenmod 9, which I personally find stable enough for daily use. If you want real stability with every feature functional, however, you're going to have to wait to the official version from Samsung.

Next time, to avoid this immature nonsense, do a quick search and browse the development forum.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rob_h:
Some good points, however a bit of mickey taking should be expected ;)

I am running the CM9 ICS ROM and it is very good even at this early stage. Bits like audio out through the Sammy car dock aren't working (as you'd expect) and the video issues are annoying but not show stoppers IMO so I'm using this as my daily driver for now and will see what the battery life is like.

The only real way is to do a backup and try it out for yourself.
